Maa.

Al Salamu 'Alaykum.

I received an sms some time back. It was related to the topic of motherhood. Short and sweet, it hit the spot. It was in Urdu and went something like this:Jab Aadmi kaam se thak kar ghar aata hai to bacchhe poochte hain, "Kya Laaya"?Biwi poochti hai, "Kya Kamaaya"?Aur Maa Poochti hai........."Beta, Kuch Khaaya"?Translation: When you come home from work, your kids ask "What did you bring?" Your wife asks, "What did you earn?" But your Mother asks, "Son, what did you eat?"Cherish your Mother. She won't be there forever."We have enjoined on man kindness to his parents; in pain did his mother bear him, and in pain did she give him birth" (Al Qur'an, 46:15).From Asma' bint Abu Bakr that during the treaty of Hudaibiyah, her mother, who was then pagan, came to see her from Makka. Asma' informed the Messenger of Allah (saws) of her arrival and also that she needed help. He said: Be good to your mother. (Bukhari & Muslim).Let us start BEING GOOD to our mothers from today.Wa'laykum Salam.

Qur'anic Verses

"And amongst his signs is this that
He created for you wives from among
yourselves that you may find peace in
them and He has put between you affection
and mercy. Verily, in that are signs for
a people who reflect. Qur`an: 30:21.

Hadith

From our Mother, Sayyida 'Ayesha Siddiqa(ra):
A poor woman came to me with her daughters.
I gave her three dates. She gave a date to each
of them and then lifted a date to her mouth to
eat but her daughters asked her for it also. She
then divided it between them. This treatment
of hers impressed me and I mentioned it to the
Messenger of Allah (saws) who said,"Verily Allah
has assured Paradise for her because of this act."
or he(saws) said, "He has saved her from the Fire."
Sahih Muslim.

English Poetry.

She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meets in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which Heaven to gaudy day denies.
